Dutch Sinterklaas songs:

Sinterklaas kapoentje

Sinterklaas kapoentje,
Gooi wat in mijn schoentje,
Gooi wat in mijn laarsje,
Dank je Sinterklaasje!

Sinterklaasje bonne bonne bonne,
Gooi wat in mijn lege lege tonne,
Gooi wat in mijn laarsje,
Dank je Sinterklaasje!

In the Netherlands we sing this song at the Sinterklaas celebration.
When Sinterklaas arrives, the children may put their shoe. Often they put it in front of the fireplace. The story goes that Sinterklaas comes down the chimney with his black servants and the fill the shoe with presents or treats. We sing this song in hopes that Sinterklaas comes. And some children put a carrod or a drawing in their shoe for the horse

and Sinterklaas. The next morning there’s a gift in their shoe.
